thanks for the recipe though

Anyway, it has come to light that coconut oil has some heath benefits and on the whole is better than some other oils, despite saturated fats. I get flavacol at Smart & Final, where they also have the sticks of “butter” that will last 1000 years. It has all the colors and various oils that make theatre popcorns famous. (Well American Theatre) Those sticks of something like butter, have trans-fats, and well I’ll pass on it.

So really friends the point is to approach the real thing, knowing full well you will never reach it. As said before if you want the real thing, go and get it at the theatre. If you want almost the real thing, this web page is pretty darn close without making something poisonous. I believe you should try to cook for your health at home as much as possible and reserve eating out to special events, good or bad for you.

Favacol does such a good job, that I believe peanut oil could get you pretty close. It’s got a nutty flavor and I think it’s pleasant.

At work we bought a real popcorn machine, like you see on wheels at the park. It’s small but does the trick. We have tried flavacol both ways. It is meant to go with the oil, not afterwards. Smart & Final also has the complete packs or kits of oil, and popcorn that you cut and squeeze into the maker. This actually produces the exact result desired. However TRANS-FATS and it’s more expensive.

Finally, the cheapest way to get actual theatre popcorn is to go to the car dealership. They have it for the customers. I get a serving or two every time I get my oil changed on the car, along with free donuts. If you don’t want to buy a car, just pretend. I know it’s stupid. I never go unless I have real business to attend to.
